1. Section 33 of the Employment of Educators Act, 1998 (Act 76 of 1998) and Section 30 (b)of the Public Service Act, 1994 inform all employees of their obligation to apply for permission from the Head of Department if they wish to perform remunerative work outside the public service.
2. The Western Cape Government’s Transversal Human Resource Management Policy regulates the performance of remunerative work by Western Cape Education Department employees outside the public service. This policy has been amended, and the revised policy, implemented as from 1 September 2012, is accessible at the www.westerncape.gov.za website.
3. Employees who have not yet sought approval to perform remunerative work outside the public service, as well as those who intend to perform remunerative work outside the public service, must immediately submit their applications to perform such work. Approvals are granted per financial year (1 April to 31 March of the following year) and therefore employees must apply annually in advance.
4. To obtain permission, the attached application form must be completed and submitted to the following address:

  Head: Education
For attention: Director: Human Resource Management
Western Cape Education Department
Private Bag X9114
Cape Town

5. Failure to obtain such permission might result in punitive consequences for the employee concerned.
6. Employees whose personal particulars are attached to a private company on the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission’s register and who are no longer involved in remunerative work outside the public service, are kindly requested to ensure that they are duly deregistered.
7. Please bring the content of this minute to the attention of all staff under your supervision.
